Scrape Product Hunt launches and hunter profiles
Track daily launches, top products, and the makers shipping them. Perfect for launch analysts, BD teams, and VC scouts.
Why your current scraper doesn't cut it
Product Hunt is the best free deal-flow signal for early-stage software. The problem is that the Product Hunt API is rate-limited and does not expose historical data well.
Stekpad scrapes Product Hunt the way you already browse it. Daily launches, weekly leaderboards, category filters, maker profiles — all captured with one click.

Is Web Scraping Legal in 2026? A Practical Guide
Authoritative legal overview covering: hiQ v. LinkedIn (public data scraping is generally lawful in the US), CFAA limits (don't bypass authentication mechanisms you weren't authorized to access), GDPR considerations for EU personal data, robots.txt (advisory, not legally binding), and ToS clauses (civil risk, not criminal). Structured as a decision tree: if you're scraping public data → generally fine; if behind a login → only safe if it's your own session; if personal data of EU citizens → add anonymization.
